> 3 dayThis is a physically well designed keyboard, despite the impression you may get judging by the branding. The switches are mounted on a metal plate and because of that, it doesnt give under even rough handling. This alone made me feel very forgiving toward its shortcomings: First, the software is in Chinese. There are a few irrelevant English words scattered throughout the interface, but they contribute nothing at all to being able to navigate and use the controls. To further frustrate anyone who is unable to read Chinese (assuming that the Chinese used in the software is coherent to those who are able), the layout and the visual controls theyve used dont really even give a reasonably clever person much context to deduce their function with either. Fine. So I take a photo and use Google to translate the interface. Soon enough, Ive memorized it well enough to do what I need to do. I can forgive that, no biggie. Its a solid piece of hardware and I want these guys to feel rewarded enough to continue going against the grain. Second and finally, I am pretty sure that I saw anti ghosting aka nkro listed somewhere in the features of this thing. I could be wrong, because I looked at several keyboards before going with this slightly more adorable device. Probably not wrong though, and the point being that this keyboard does not feature anti ghosting technology whatsoever. This is much harder to forgive because I frequently press more than three keys at once and this seems to be kryptonite to this magnificent oak of a Chinese keyboard. I get stuck running sideways all the time in gameplay and have to give this baby a little break in order to be able to change directions. Ouch. You guys keep making hardy peripherals though and Ill be sure to give you another shot next time I see one of your products. Valiant effort.

Greater than one weekI dont game with this keyboard, but it is similar to the keyboard I use on my gaming computer. I use this keyboard for writing. I write books as well as short stories online. I have arthritis in my hands and find mechanical keyboards more comfortable to use. I am very satisfied with the feel of the keyboard. It is a great price, has a small footprint, and if you dont need the keypad I highly recommend it.

> 3 dayUPDATE 04/04/2022 - This keyboard is still a beautiful and great keyboard. Best one I have bought! Black switches have spoiled me and might buy another for my other older PC that I use as a test bed. Really great keyboard! First, it is so hard to find a good, tenkeyless keyboard with black switches! Seems like only a few companies will make them like that. I need black switches as my fingers are pretty strong and reds are way too easy for me to ghost. I love the mechanical but not the clicky or noise. And I also love some resistance in my keys. I had another keyboard but was good for about 4 years then started not working. For a mechanical keyboard, that was really sad. Hoping this one will be much better and last longer. So far, loving it! RGB settings are easy to use and the colors are so nice! Oh and the keys are open at the bottom! VERY easy to clean! Love that for sure!

04-06-202510/5/17 update: Im returning this. Today, the caps lock started getting triggered randomly despite my active avoidance of the caps lock key. And when it happens, the caps lock LED doesnt even turn on. As I use vim every day, this is very annoying and a hindrance to productivity. I regret cheaping out and will be purchasing a keyboard made by a reputable manufacturer. I bought this on a last-minute whim. Ive been eyeing the Razer BlackWidowTournament Edition for some time, after purchasing the Razer Mecha-Membrane keyboard not too long ago. I like the Mecha-Membrane, but it is a little too large to carry around on an everyday basis, plus I dont need a number pad for everyday usage. Pros: + The price point is good. For $50, you get a really nice-looking keyboard. Ive looked for other RGB compact mechanical keyboards but the ones I saw were either flooded with fake reviews or were poorly reviewed, which didnt inspire a lot of confidence. + The lighting effects are almost as nice as the Razer I have, but with the advantage of being able to change the effect without installing additional crapware. No offense to Razer or its fans, but I hate that you cant even (to my knowledge) cycle through the lighting effects without installing Synapse. For more complex and custom effects, I totally understand why Synapse would be required. + A keycap puller and brush are included. Cons - The keycaps are terrible! The ones on the end especially will fall off if you even look at them funny. Whenever I put this into my bag, I almost always have to scoop up the keys that got knocked out of place and put them back where they belong. The keycap puller is basically unnecessary because the keys are so loose. If theres any potential dealbreaker with this item, it would be the keys (more on that below). - The instructions are all in Chinese. I didnt have much trouble figuring out how to cycle through the lighting effects, control audio on my work machine (a MacBook Air), or adjust the brightness on the keyboard. But it still would have been nice to have instructions with more English than just the name of the product. - Very little pressure is required to actuate each key. Admittedly, this could be either a pro or a con, depending on what youre looking for. But so far for me its been a significant con. Overall, based on my initial impressions, Id give this 2.5 stars, but I rounded up. Between the softness/squishiness of the keys and the loose keycaps, Im on the fence about whether to return this. I will give it a chance because there are quite a few things I like about it and Ive not even had it a full day. I may try getting some different keycaps, but from reading the answers to questions about replacing them, it seems that would only be a partial fix because not all of them are standard-sized. The worst offenders (the esc and delete keys) are not standard-sized and therefore would not be possible to replace (see: https://www.amazon.com/forum/-/Tx38PWXL2JXJRXF/ref=ask_ql_ql_al_hza?asin=B01JG37496).

Greater than one weekI love everything about this keyboard, for the price I dont think I could have done any better. I went with the black switch options and they are just a little more quiet than most mech. keyboards. They still offer a very satisfying click, an extremely smooth press. No issues so far after about 2 weeks of use. Purchased as a replacement for my full size Redragon that stopped working after 2 months. I would 100% recommend this if youre looking for a 60% keyboard. TLDR: Very affordable, satisfying, attractive, and responsive keyboard. Dont waste time looking at the other 100000 keyboards on Amazon!!

> 3 dayIts an awesome keyboard. I like how it doesnt have an enclosure around the keys so I dont see hairs trap between keys. There are the right symbols on the f* keys for Mac unlike the Fuhlen one my coworker has which doesnt come with them. I also dont like full keyboard so this is great for me. One last thing to mention is the detachable USB cable. I have a cat and he chews up cables when I am not looking so at least I know if he chews up this one I dont have to get a whole new keyboard. There is also nothing like telling everyone in the office that youre working with super loud key clicks. Customer services reached out to see how I like it two weeks into owning it. Been enjoying it so far.

> 3 dayThis keyboard is an absolutely deal! It is very satisfying, and i can play every game under the sun extremely comfortably. 100% worth it. I have ZERO problems with this keyboard. When I first bought it, I was thinking that this would be a below average keyboard. But to my surprise, this thing is an absolute beast. It is definitely one of the most dominate 75% keyboards that I have tried, and it really set the stage for other competitors. Everything about this is great. The price was fantastic, the shipping time was unbelievable, and I am super happy with this product. As far as recommendations for changes, I have none. The hardware and build quality are superb. However, If I could add one thing to the keyboard, it would be more lighting options. But this doesnt change that fact that I am in love with this. Keep it up!!

Greater than one weekDecent keyboard for the price. Needed to replace one of my older keyboards since it was double pressing and this does the job. Instructions were in Chinese, so I had to look at other reviews to see how to adjust the light settings. Will update this review if anything changes.

Greater than one weekThis is a really great keyboard. I use it mainly for my laptop, but also have used it on my desktop, now and then. Overall, I have no issues with the quality of the keyboard, but my other half likes the feel and look of it also. That means she wants it. So I guess I might be in the marketr purchase soon.

Greater than one weekThe material quality couldve been better but for the price it was 100% fine. Only thing I dont like is the ajazz logo printed on the space bar. I understand you have to brand a product but try to make it more subtle. Other than that, its great keyboard for the price and would highly recommend.
